Grad djevojaka

Grad djevojaka

Elizabeth Gilbert

It is a novel about condemnation, but also about women's freedom to choose the life they want and enjoy it - because life is dangerous and fleeting, and therefore there is no point in denying yourself pleasure or adventure while you are here.

The author of the world bestsellers Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things returns with a novel set in the theatrical world of New York in the 1940s and 1950s, bursting with glamour, adventures and travel affairs. The year is 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of the elite women's college Vassar. Her parents send her to New York to Aunt Peg, who runs a failing theater in Manhattan: Teatar Ljiljan. In Ljiljan, Vivian discovers the bohemian way of life and is completely enchanted by that colorful, unrestrained and unconventional world. There she learns what it means to be different. She and the theater entertainers, young, glamorous and inseparable, conquer the city. But when Vivian makes a mistake that causes a big scandal, her life is completely turned upside down and it will take her years to understand what it really was and what it meant. In the meantime, the war happened. Now in her advanced years, Vivian tells her story and recalls those long-ago events that changed her and ultimately led her to the love of her life, a love unlike any other. Either way, at some point in her life, a woman just gets tired of being ashamed of herself all the time. After that, she is free to become who she truly is, says Vivian. City of Girls is a beautifully told story with fascinating female characters - a multi-layered and emotional celebration of womanhood!
